    hehe, thanks fellas!
    suspension (at the moment*) is Monroe inserts in the front, and some cofaps in the back, lowered king springs all round.
    thats basicly so i can start using it...i recon i will go some coil overs once i get the mk2 all sorted out...also talks in progress for a 16v on twin carbs.
    ....but, baby steps at the moment, lol.

    found a windscreen in stock in launceston. its going in on fri to get that fitted..then put in my std tail lights and it should be looking good for the transport inspection and all go for the tamar cruise.

    hey mate, your doing a great job... just a few words of experience.

    im not sure which monroes you have, but i've had experience with monroe GT-gas shocks and king springs same as you.

    i found the monroes to be finw with stockie springs but once the heavier higher rate kings were in, the ride becomes very bouncy and you could lose some grip on a less that smooth surface. might be ok for the rear but i would look at swapping in something harder for the front inserts, maybe BOGE or SACHs super tourer.

    keep goin mate! HAHAHAHAHAHA to the mk2 with steelies!

    17's might be a touch big
    4x4 indeed...
    Wouldn't do much for acceleration either...

    The other 5 spoke silver alloys look good
